We are learning to explain the relationship between fault lines and earth quakes.
We will show this by:
- show the main fault lines in New Zealand on our map
- demonstrating our understanding that all, except for the very deepest, earthquakes occur on on faults
- earthquakes occur by the fault lines moving
- explaining, using diagrams, that faults move in different ways
- understanding that some faults are 'active'
